Passing Multiple Values In URL

Rails
1

Been a while since I programmed in Ruby and Rails and some of the
basic concepts I just loose so quickly. This one I can’t find any
examples of.

I want to pass two pieces of information in my URL. The :id plus I
want to pass my user_id. How do I pass it using the link_to?

Stupid question I know… but I can’t find the answer.

Thanks, I have tried there, I personally could not find anything
there, I was wondering if someone had an example I can work from?

link_to ‘fake url’, :action => ‘fake_action’, :id => 5, :user_id => 7

Thanks Pat. Is there a way to get it so that the URL appears like:

http://www.something.com/controller/fake_action/5/user_id/7

instead of:

http://www.something.com/controller/fake_action/5?user_id=7

Thanks! :slight_smile:

In your routes.rb file put:

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id/user_id/:user_id’
